The Court held that a 20‑year starting point was excessive on these facts; a 15‑year starting point was appropriate for each applicant. The trial judge's 50% discount for plea/cooperation was excessive; a one‑third discount is appropriate, which leaves the imposed sentences of 10 years imprisonment on each applicant unchanged. D2 was correctly found to be someone who should have been aware that robbers were likely to be armed, increasing culpability.
